That women's elimination chamber match looks truly awful.

This is a pointless PPV. Many key stars aren't even on this PPV.

Is the plan for the women's tag team title (and ONLY that title, men or women) to travel between shows?

Outside of the chamber matches themselves, I have no excitement about this show whatsoever. Although I am curious to see how Ruby Riott performs in a big solo PPV setting.

Not sure, Fox wants exclusive stars so they can't travel between brands when that deal with Fox starts.

In the meantime I think the champions will be on both brands while they establish more tag teams, once the Fox deal starts they'll have enough tag teams for tag titles on both shows.

Fox wanting exclusive stars doesn't necessarily mean that the entire roster has to be exclusive. I'd imagine that, after the top ten or so guys, they probably don't really care.

Ruby faced Charlotte for the SD title last year at Fastlane.

I typically don't watch the television shows and catch up on ppvs. No plans whatsoever to waste my time with this. Absolutely brutal card.

On further thinking, I think there is a slight possibility Kofi could win the WWE title here to achieve the Grand Slam. I don't think he will be champion going into Mania, but I could see them giving him a short filler reign until Fastlane just to get that achievement.

This is the least interested I've been in a main roster PPV in awhile. Gonna watch the Pre-show but PVR the PPV
and watch the NBA All-Star game instead.

I feel the same about both of those events. I have some work to do, so I'll probably have the chamber on in the background. I agree, the card is C-level at best. The lack of star power is noticeable.

But who knows, sometimes the under-the-radar events turn out to be decent. I just want to maintain my KIA lead going into WM.

I just hope the PPV isn't 5-7 hours like usual...

So far we've had a crappy Super Bowl, Grammy's and Dunk Contest and the Rumble was kind of meh so we're kind
of due for something good. Most WWE programming is on in the background for me these days the Internet is a great
distraction I don't know if I could watch today's shows in the 80's or early 90's without some kind of distraction to get by.

The dunk contest did kind of suck outside of one dunk. People just don't want to do it anymore. The rumble was fine, just not as great as past Rumbles.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

I'm two bad matches in a row from switching back to Red Dead Redemption 2, which I got a week ago.

Also, Buddy Murphy is lucky Vince doesn't give a crap about the cruiserweight division. Vince letting Hunter take that show over is the best thing that's ever happened to him. He went from being a nobody to being one of the top workers in the company, all because Vince stopped giving a crap.

LOL did they seriously just have Carmella come out first? That silence was awkward as hell.

I'm so proud of Mandy and Sonya. They were losers on the worst season of Tough Enough. Mandy could do whatever the **** she wants and she chose to get good at wrestling. God bless.
